What is the best uprated radiator (price/quality) for the FD? Has anyone tried the radiators on ebay?

I\'ve got the first one fitted on mine - seems to work OK but no idea how good it is compared to the others.

Got it off an American company on ebay - alot cheaper than from a UK company even with shipping and duty.

Are you standard or modified, how much power?

Good to hear. Got the ASI in the 1st gen and its leaking badly after only a few months. Need a new rad ASAP.

Ditto. Well put together and perfect fit. Took a couple of weeks to arrive but very well packaged, and as above, a lot cheaper than UK vendors.

Great! So your car\'s running too cold. It needs at least 82 degrees for it to be running at optimum temps.

I got a Koyo N flow from eBay in the states and it seems ot be performing great - temps stable at about 82 degrees or so, more when in traffic obviously! cools down very rapidly when the fans come on though.

If yours never goes above 70 then, as said, it\'s running too cold - chances are your thermostat is buggered.
